I'm really surprised. Coleman recommends a minimum fresh air opening of 6 sq. ft. when using the Sport Cat in a tent or indoors. Me, myself, I wouldn't use it in a tent. Just my opinion.

Something to think about:
To quote a fire captain I once had, while teaching about carbon monoxide poisoning in homes with kero heaters:
"When you sleep, your respirations are slowed to half. You are, basically, half-way to dead. You don't want any further help to finish the job."

Also, I wouldn't want to risk accidentally touching any of my expensive nylon anything (tent, bag, clothing, etc.) to the heater and ruining it.
